The area I live in is gorgeous, so I look for the best ways to steward it and to help my neighbors. I founded Friends of Road 4109 to rebuild a forest road. I draft civil engineering plans for developers and small businesses. I am studying land surveying. And I am raising several boys with my wife Lynae. I have found my way out of a porn addiction through Celebrate Recovery

- Eating an apple a day, putting the seeds in your pocket to plant the seeds when possible: cuts 100 tons


Planting fruit trees solves so many problems at once! Food, shade, leaf mold, they provide such good things.

We also made a list of saponin-rich plants for soapmaking. I have had good results from English Ivy.

Welcome to Permies, Leland! Building something to be enjoyed in the evening sounds really peaceful.
I don't think Wheaton Labs has had a SKIP event since 2024. And I don't know if there are plans to have another one. So it seems like a good idea to jump on this one.

Right, I was able to replace three of the infinite switches that control the stovetop burners. I used a kit from Robertshaw that can replace many styles of infinite switch. The picture shows the new white one next to the old black switch.

Robertshaw made the oven control board as well, but I haven't found a replacement for that yet.

That fix lasted less than a year. Which is disappointing but not very surprising. This time I cut a piece of wood that is held captive between the housing and the circuit board. It is wide enough that it will still contact the button no matter how it moves around inside.

That is a fun exercise, r! If nothing else, setting up that one will help you feel more comfortable working on any other ukes that you come across.

Last weekend I picked one up at a thrift store. It only has one string, I intend to pick up a set of new strings this evening.
